about me

I am a writer, mostly of adult mysteries but I have also written some short stories and a sci-fi book for youngsters. I live in the North West of England and I am involved with the Scouts, my local residents association and I am a school governor.
Despite this busy life, I still like to find time to write and to look after my cat, Suzy.
My background is in the field of child care, though I have been retired for some years. I still do the ofdd shift in security work, though.

Double Murder

Ron Parker

A Murder Mystery Thriller


Detective Inspector Tom Jackson and and his sergeant, Charles Rigby, are called in to investigate when Colin Lovell returns home to find his wife murdered and his young son missing. Jackson has more to worry about, however, than just a murder and a missing child.

 

Teenwars

Ron Parker

A sci-fi story for kids, with an anti-bullying theme


Aaron Ballantyne and Barry Cutler are the leaders of two rival kids' gangs, not the modern knife wielding variety, but the kind that youngsters used to naturally form themselves into.

They put aside their differences when confronted by a common enemy - not of this world.

 

The Blue-Bike Murder

Ron Parker

When Detective Inspector Tom Jackson has to investigate the murder of a youth, things are not as straightforward as they first seem.


Young Jake Swift is terrified that he is a suspect when his friend is murdered leading him to get into dangerous situations as Tom Jackson and his team try to solve the murder. WARNING While nothing is explicit, this story does contain some scenes involving child abuse. Anyone offended by stories of this nature should refrain from reading the book

Hi Su, It's some time since I first read this story and, on giving it another try, I was hoping to see some corrections based on what I said at the time. Unfortunately, you haven't made those corrections, the same errors are still there. This is a pity because the story itself has great pot... view book

Hi Alan, Due to an hectioc life, I've only had tiome to read the first two chapters, but this was enough to know that you have a good story here. Even though you are still setting the scene at this stage, you have done what you need to - kept the reader wanting too read on. The technical aspec... view book

Hi Richard, You have a good story here but it needs quite a bit of editting. There are quite a few comma errors and typos. This is especially noticable in the first sentence which is going to be the introduction to your reader and where you do not want to create a bad impression. 'Ok Class' shou... view book

Hi Shelby, I've only had to time to read a little of this story, but I like it so far. There are a few corrections needed but nothing major. One thing though, in the early part of the story you have the phrase 'a small girl sat on her knees'. You can sit on someone elses knees but your own. Yo... view book

Hi Adam, I've only had time to read the first chapter of this (which is rather long). You have the makings of a great story here but it does have some flaws. I did only spot one typo (you have a 'this' which should be 'thus') but there are more significant problems. First, you keep refering to... view book
